Right, think this weekend a couple of us are going to attack my Corsa to get it back going again. Been very lazy with the old dog, as I was starting to get board.
Nearly got all the parts I need, including new fuel tank and filter, rear brake drum cylinders for both sides and new shoes too, new oil filter and some oil for a fresh change, new plugs, front wheel bearing and a boost pipe that goes down to the intercooler from the top hat (not massive as it joins to a hard pipe), as it keeps ripping it to shreads.
When the bearing went its fooked the hub too. The hub is all I'm missing now. What I want to know is where is best to pick one up from (front drivers side), and how much?
Plus anybody want to buy my spare box? F28 but its not yet been converted to FWD, £300 if anybodys interested. I'm going to get my box fixed, since I found out how cheap it actually is!

Came out of a 80k Calibra, driven (not by me though) before the box came out, no crunches and selects all gears OK.
I have yet to use the box though obviously. I can get you a price on conversion to FWD, plus the bit in it so it works on dials designed to work on the F20 (eg Corsa GSi, or digidash) if you want?
I'll deliver if you pay my petrol (in my 1.2 clio, not the turbo lol)

Whilst I trust who I got it off, as I have personally not verified the condition, I have to set the price a bit low, i.e £300. If I had run the box I think I'd be looking nearer £400.

Well I drove to London to pick it up!
I'd do it one weekend day, £10 for ever 100 miles I travel. I'm happy to do the driving if you stick the juice in, and I like to do deals face to face, you can see what your getting, no waiting for payment etc...
Unless you wanna meet me at something like Watford Gap services? Call it £320 all in if you want to do that?
